Back in the Saddle!

Hi everyone! First, I want to announce the winners of last week’s Spreading the Awesome, tribute to Suzanne Collins book giveaway. As I mentioned in the post, I gave away three books. So, here you go…the winners:

Now, for today’s post. As many of you know, I have been very under-the-weather of late…unable to do much for very long. And yes, that includes writing.

In fact, it has been almost a month since I have plunged into a writing project – oh sure, I’ve done a little with blog posts, critted a few things here and there…but nothing substantial.

Until this week.

I have been bombarded with ideas of late. Nothing really ready to grasp onto. But it has helped to focus me and bring my muse a little closer.

So this week I am jumping back in. Yes, I still need to take it SLOW…so I will start with a few character sketches, maybe a little plotting. But I think I may actually get some new words on paper this week.

Yay for getting back on the writing horse! It’s always fun when you’ve been off for a while 🙂

I usually read something that I know will get my creative juices flowing (even one chapter from a well-loved book can do it) or find old half-written bits of stories, or I watch “A Knock at the Door” from Duirwaigh Gallery here: http://www.duirwaigh.com/duirwaigh-films.html (second one down). That film always inspires me 🙂
